Bomarzo - the World of Things

The weirdest garden ever created
is located just outside the small village of Bomarzo, in Italy. It
contains some of the most horrific larger-than-life statuary that one
can imagine. One of Hannibal’s elephants carries a trampled soldier, a
giant tears apart his enemy, a dragon combats its prey and a colossal
mouth gapes open to swallow visitors.
The reason this garden or grove of monsters was created hasn’t been
clearly understood but author Christopher McIntosh, suggests that it was
a method for its creator Orsini to help him deal with his depression
after the loss of his wife. McIntosh likens it to a person who is
depressed and finds that reading gloomy poetry creates a
counter-reaction that cheers him up.
Important dates: 218 BC (Hannibal crosses the Alps using elephants
during the Second Punic War); 4th July, 1523 (Pier Francesco Orsini is
born); November 2017 (launching of PowaINFRA - an awesome Internet of
Things).

Everyone need a Bomarzo. In our jobs, in our life, we require these
channels to cheer us up. A strange garden, an interesting hobby, or
strange quirks.

At the office we use a Mikrotik which is connected via fibre to Cool Ideas. We use OpenDNS as a Information Security tool. It prevents ransomware and bots from becoming major incidents within the office.

The router is scheduled to do a daily update via script of the OpenDNS settings. Below is the example:

ITIL mentions the Major Incident process as a special case of the
incident management process as well its close relationship to problem
management. However, the Major Incident process requires greater
clarity and specification as in many large enterprises the process is
crucial for overcoming a crisis. A Major Incident typically defined as
an incident with severe negative business consequences and an important
duty of any designated Information Technology (IT) resources is to deal
with Major Incidents in a structured manner. We will address this
important topic in a series of articles that specifically addresses the
process and crisis management in general.

DS has an on board version of the PowaINFRA gateway that can be
deployed on a vehicle. The gateway is powered by the 12V of the vehicle
and typically installed under the dash. Additionally, the gateway has an
extra sensor and metric ability of using Geo-location. The on board
PowaINFRA gateway has the same capabilities as the standard PowaINFRA
gateway and is compatible with the sensors in the PowaINFRA range.

Other vehicle tracking systems are typically wired and thus rely on
the sensors to be connected to contacts on the main unit. No only is
this a more difficult installation but it limits the number of sensors
installed in a vehicle as it is not cost effective. Most vehicle
installation of refrigerated trucks only have one temperature probe
installed, either on the output or return vents of the cooling units.
This is typically located at the front of the refrigeration trailer and
the cooling varies within the trailer. Thus it is likely that the load
can experience fr…

In the span of just 10 days, two large-scale, wormable attacks grabbed international headlines. First, a phishing campaign posing as a Google Docs sharing request gained access to Google accounts then spread across its victim’s contacts, and now, a ransomware campaign with a bite, named WannaCry, autonomously infected vulnerable systems leveraging an exploit leaked on the internet.
In the early minutes of the attack, we worked with our Talos counterparts to analyse the behaviour of WannaCry and protect our customers. We were also particularly proud to see that our Investigate product helped MalwareTech reduce WannaCry’s impact. In this post, we hope to give you a retrospective analysis of what we’ve observed during the first critical hours of the event.

DS showcased the Powalert sensor at the MyBroadband conference on the
26th October 2017. IoT is the incremental next step into the optimised
use of technology that was made prevalent by smart phone technology. The
cost efficiencies of smart phone technologies have resulted in the
deployment of a number of other generic devices that use low powered
network connections as an alternative. These are the class of devices
known as IoT, the Internet of Things, which were previously not
networked.
The PowaINFRA range is a true IoT solution. Powalert is a product in
the PowerINFRA range. This solution expands the digital world to
buildings and infrastructure that were previously mostly accessed by
requiring physical connections.
The Powalert sensor, using IoT technology, provides the ability to
determine power related failures within telecommunications. A last mile
provider typically has multiple customers using leased lines. When an
outage occurs at the customer premises, the…

Yes, I know – it’s an inadequate distortion of an old, clichéd proverb.
Yet, I say this too often in client meetings and peer discussions,
